I am a 58 year old male. I weigh 210 lbs. I work out five days a week. On the bench press, I do seven sets of 12 reps with 200 lb. I use the bench press each time I work out. I can not get past a 18 inch arm. What am I doing wrong.

7 sets of 12 reps?! That's a lot, but if you can handle doing so many, then it sounds like you're toning existing muscles instead of building new ones. You should increase the weight, and decrease the numbers of set/reps.

I don't know what you are doing wrong, but I sure as hell hope I will be able to do 3 sets of what you do by the time I am 58. Holly, mama!

increase the weight and slow down the reps if you want to grow the biceps, then work on your curls. http://exercise.about.com/cs/weightlifting/l/blsamplebicep.htm
